This one gathers the most votes for the most haunted place in the country. You have to trudge through kilometres of broken roads before you actually get to this abandoned town. This one comes with a serious advisory, don’t stay past sunset, and the few that have dared, have allegedly heard screams, footsteps and just ‘felt’ someone’s presence.

The town was built in the 16th century by Raja Bhagwant Das, and is complete with temples, shops, and homes. Stories about why this town in ruins is haunted differ wildly, but according to legends, a magician fell in love with the town’s princess, and cast a spell so she would reciprocate.

She found out and had him killed, and he in turn, cursed the town on his way out of the world, saying no one would live and the city wouldn’t have any roofs. Look up, if you make it; there ain’t no roofs. Or people. For miles.
